In 1816, Jean Lafayette's pirates raided the Spanish ship Santa Rosa in Matagora Bay. The ship was loaded with silver ingots melted from the treasures and mines of South America.
The gang loaded the treasure on wagons and headed north towards Saint Louis to have the ingots made into coins.
As the pirates neared Nacogdoches Spanish soldiers began a chase along Trammel's Trace. The horses pulling the wagons were no match for the faster Spanish soldiers. Around Hendrick's Lake the pirates decided to dump the silver into that body of water.
An account of this affair appeared a few years later in a St. Louis newspaper. The story didn't end there.
Many treasure hunters have explored the lake for more than one hundred and seventy-five years. Present-day adventurers have used sophisticated equipment to find the silver but to no avail.
Tantalizing artifacts have been brought from the dark, placid waters but no silver, yet.
This lonely little road was the only way in to Hendrick's Lake for almost two centuries. Now, the road has been closed by a mining company and the lake no longer exists(as of three years ago).The treasure has never been found, and the legend lives on. Do you have what it takes to track down the silver? Your looking for a small container on what should be an empty road. The house nearby is vacant, so don't worry about it. DO NOT CROSS THE FENCE! This one is not good to attempt solo. Check the attributes and be safe. PLEASE PUT THE CACHE BACK AS YOU FOUND IT!
